Did I ever ask for this? I just wanted to mark all articles, quickly. I often use it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------> M P a runs the command gnus-uu-mark-all which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-uu'. (gnus-uu-mark-all) Mark all articles in "series" order. ----------------------------------------------------------------------< > Maybe it's easier to implement bignums in Emacs Lisp. A workaround > for your problem, of course, is to say something like `9 9 9 9 #'. I am vaguely reading that you say that it is not a Gnus problem. I would not think Gnus should ever raise an Emacs error because the Subject line is unexpected. There is a lot of noise in the flurry of messages we receive, and Gnus should be solid as rock against random subjects. At first glance, I would believe that `M P a' should mark all articles, as its name implies. --=20 Fran=C3=A7ois Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
